Evaluation of recently proposed thresholds to define spirometry bronchodilator response
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<title>Extract</title> The bronchodilator response (BDR) test, which compares spirometry measurements before and after the administration of a bronchodilator (BD), is clinically used to support asthma diagnosis. Both the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and American Thoracic Society (ATS) and guidelines for spirometry (2005) [1] and clinical asthma guidelines [2] consider an increase of 12% and 200 mL in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV<sub>1</sub>) or forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline to be a significant response to BD. However, the recent ERS/ATS guidelines for spirometry (2022) propose that a significant BDR should correspond to a change greater than 10% predicted value in FEV<sub>1</sub> or FVC [3].

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
